According to that wikipedia link you cite, Lee Ward:

Which happens to be exactly what _Mike_ claimed.

The only other president on the list referred to by a number is George Herbert Walker Bush:

41,[10] Bush the Elder,[11] Papa Bush,[12] and similar names. All nicknames that were used after his son George Walker Bush became the 43rd president, to differentiate between the two.

So, other than proving that _Mike_ was right, did you have a point in linking to that Wikipedia entry?

Aside from George W. Bush and George Herbert Walker Bush, there are no presidents listed in that article with a number. Specifically, Obama is NOT nicknamed "44", which is what you claimed, and which _Mike_ pointed out was a complete fabrication on your part.
